Efes and Olympiakos beaten
Among the competitors of Asvel and Monaco in the race to qualify for the play-offs, Efes Istanbul did not take advantage of their trip to Saint Petersburg to make a move there. Despite Adrien Moerman’s 11 points – only 7 for Rodrigue Beaubois – the Stambouliotes lost (67-76), without response to the domination of Alex Poythress (21 points, 9 rebounds). Olympiakos de Moustapha Fall (18 points) may have revived Red Star Belgrade in this race for the finals, losing at home to the Serbian club (72-76).
